11 Van Vogt, A.E./ Hull, E. Mayne Winged Man, The
U.S. Doubleday and Co. 1966 First Doubleday and Co. Edition. Hard Cover, with Wraps. Very Good. Water Touched. Very Good Minus. Water Tchd. Ex Library Copy.  
       Black cloth binding. $3.95 is the original price. 190 pages. Original cream coloured paper. Tight binding. Wrapper Art: McMullan, Jim.
In General: A number, in pencil, is at the upper left of the first page and the right corner is clipped. The Library pocket is pasted to the last page. A couple of pages have bottom corners creased, but they're minor. A couple of numbers are stamped on the top edge and "Library Copy" is stamped to the bottom edge. There's a slight lean to the right, the Back Cover has a slight bow and the right edge pages are rough - cut.
Wrapper: I'm assuming that the Wrapper was water touched as there appears to be some very light colour bleed to the interior of the Wrapper, at the top and bottom (for about 1/2"). As the Wrapper is glued to the book I can't tell much more than this.
Story: Birdmen and Fishmen are at war, on Earth. 000688
